One of only two sleeper cabs they have, driven by Ian.
I drove this 340 volvo for 13 months. Its done well over a million KMs with no serious problems. shown here having 20 tonnes dropped in one go by the face shovel which doesnt normally load road trucks at Cemex Halkyn.
3 Volvo fms. 420, 340 and a 400.
Taken at truckest circa 1987. Foden 3250 6x4
Bedford TM 14 litre 290 ■■■■■■■ my dad drove for David Hatswell. Taken 1988.
He was then given this beauty 1989 Merc 1735.
And he drove this 1981 F7 for a short while. the splitter was on the dash!

Hi paul, yes it came from over shefield way. From a La Farge tar plant at the bottom of a hill off the M1 if I remember correctly. I bought it off an old chap that was very ill but I never met him. the boss from coopers helped out with the sale. It was a brilliant truck only needing a new olive on one of the splitter pipes!
Not one of the best wagons we had, we didnt run it a long time, We prefered the S 36, much better performer, & better on fuel also.
One from the past; It went well for a 260 apparently
My current motor (had new) on muckaway in a tight spot
The smallest on the fleet, plated at 12ton so it can carry “half a 6wheeler load”
Two of our newest
